- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Okay, we get it. You run Linux. Got it. Why are you posting on a thread discussing Windows control panel?
- Comment on A millennial couple who make $250,000 say they can't find a home in their budget: 'We refuse to become house-poor' 2 months ago:
It’s high time we get over this notion that in America, you rent for a couple years, save money, and then buy a house. It is simply not possible anymore. The only people buying houses are people that have a house to sell.
We are lifetime renters and we live in a community with lifetime renters. Some of us even have GASP kids in an apartment.
- Comment on pringles 2 months ago:
If by deliberate you mean the sprayers that spray all the artificial flavors, liquefied added nutrients, and related shit are on top of the “chip” as it moves down a conveyor, then sure I guess it’s deliberate.
- Comment on TriliumNext Notes - The last note taking app you should ever need 3 months ago:
What is it with Lemmy users assuming anyone who disagrees with them is astroturfing or a shill.
- Comment on Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face. 3 months ago:
If you already have a passport and opt out of facial recognition, you’re only deluding yourself into a false sense of privacy. In fact, if you enter the screening area at all in an airport, you are kidding yourself if you think you can maintain some semblance of privacy. The government knows what you look like. Calm down and move on with your life.
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 6 months ago:
That sounds like an AI bot summarizing an average Lemmy user’s rant about FLOSS and Linux.
- Comment on land shrimp 7 months ago:
Yea I guess I’m one of the few that hate to see even bugs suffer.
- Comment on Big Tech passkey implementations are a trap | Proton 7 months ago:
And if you believe in our mission and want to help us build a better internet where privacy is the default, you can sign up for a paid plan to get access to even more premium features.
Translation: don’t give those other guys money, give us your money!
- Comment on US appeals court kills ban on plastic containers contaminated with PFAS 7 months ago:
Imagine working for Inhance and high-fiving your coworkers because a court said it’s legal for you to continue contaminating humans and the environment with a harmful chemical.
What kind of sick motherfucker sleeps well after that?
- Comment on Kids Are Watching Brain Melting AI-Generated Videos on YouTube Without Parents Realizing 7 months ago:
This is a strange take. It’s okay to be a parent that wants alone time, or time away from their kids. It’s no different than wanting time alone from any family member. It doesn’t mean you don’t love them, it means you enjoy being with yourself and fulfilling your own wishes sometimes. I have a really hard time believing anyone who says they love to be around a toddler 24/7. It’s just not humanly possible.
- Comment on I've noticed my boomer parents using Instagram and tik tok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. 8 months ago:
Someday kids will understand when the baby boomers were actually born.
Or, I guess OP is a middle-aged person complaining about his elderly parents being on a phone app.
- Comment on Audacity adds AI audio editing capabilities thanks to free Intel OpenVINO plugins 8 months ago:
If opt-in telemetry is spyware then the FOSS community truly is off the rails.
- Comment on ‘Zombie Offices’ Spell Trouble for Some Banks - The New York Times 8 months ago:
It’s a solid solution only if someone ponies up the money to pay for the incredible effort it takes to convert an office building into residences. Waving your hands in the air and telling someone else to pay for it is not a good argument.
- Comment on ‘Don’t Mess With Us’: WebMD Parent Company Demands Return to Office in Bizarre Video 9 months ago:
Because it’s not fiction. City leaders and even Congress, at the behest of lobbyists, have clearly urged RTO as a cure to real estate woes.
US Real Estate Firms Urge Federal Government To Bring Workers Back to the Office
- Comment on YSK: The Wadsworth Constant of YouTube videos 11 months ago:
That’s what people say but it’s rarely worked for me.
- Comment on Video of ceramic storage system prototype surfaces online — 10,000TB cartridges bombarded with laser rays could become mainstream by 2030, making slow hard drives and tapes obsolete 11 months ago:
You’re not playing Lemmy correctly. The highest rated post must always be a half-hearted pessimistic lazy criticism of whatever new technology is being described.
- Comment on Behold The Hyundai Uni Wheel. Transportation May Never Be The Same 11 months ago:
And then someone saying something about Linux
- Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money 11 months ago:
That’s fine if it’s a troll account, but the problem is that it’s not even funny.
- Comment on Reddit updates look after rough 6 months and ahead of reported IPO 11 months ago:
That’s what caught my eye too. I rarely, if ever, respond to someone who’s responded to a comment I’ve made, especially if they’re arguing or trying to correct me. And that’s if I’ve even bothered to go back and check it.
Not that you’ll ever see my reply to your comment…
- Comment on Amazon exec says it’s time for workers to ‘disagree and commit’ to office return — “I don’t have data to back it up, but I know it’s better.” 11 months ago:
I wish these assholes would just come out and tell the truth: they need you in the office to justify their multi-decade office leases that they can’t get out of.
- Comment on AI Art Generators Can Be Fooled Into Making NSFW Images 11 months ago:
I guess “we downloaded Stable Diffusion and ran some free NSFW checkpoints” isn’t exciting enough research to get you published.
- Comment on Amazon shows ‘contempt’ for UK law over parcel thefts 11 months ago:
You are missing something. The article quotes the police:
“Police Scotland told me that, since the courier’s contract is with Amazon, no crime has been committed against me and I should get Amazon to sort it out,” she said.
- Comment on Blueberry milkshakes 11 months ago:
they don’t have an advanced enough brain
So that makes it okay to torture them.
- Comment on 1Password discloses security incident linked to Okta breach 1 year ago:
I can guarantee you they are not monitoring 30-message Lemmy posts on something that happened weeks ago for damage control. I’m sorry to say that your personal opinion is not that important.
- Comment on Fears of employee displacement as Amazon brings robots into warehouses 1 year ago:
I have to admit I’ve never heard anyone read a high attrition rate and then put the blame on the workers. I really, really, hope this person isn’t in any position to make decisions in an organization.
- Comment on Netflix to open branded retail stores for some reason 1 year ago:
I cannot imagine a customer base that’s so ecstatic with Netflix’s service that they’re willing to give the company even more money by buying overpriced ultra-processed meals and branded coffee cups. Why people continue to sell their souls and open their wallets to these companies is beyond me.
- Comment on Making Hard Things Easy 1 year ago:
Ironically, the people that really enjoyed this talk already understand all of these topics.
- Comment on Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane? 1 year ago:
Scooters are fine with me. What I can’t stand are boneheaded joggers thinking the bike lane is some extension of the sidewalk.
- Comment on Huge new satellite outshines nearly every star in the sky 1 year ago:
The good news is that people have been saying this for decades.
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 1 year ago:
